Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer was gone and the heat died down
And autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply
[Verse 2]
The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply
[Verse 3]
(Time of no reply) The time of no reply
(Time of no reply) Is calling me to stay
(The time of no reply) There's no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way
[Verse 4]
The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams till another day
They stood and thought and they wondered why
For this was the time of no reply
[Verse 5]
Time goes by from year to year
And no one asks why I'm standing here
But I have my answer as I look to the sky
This is the time of no reply
[Verse 6]
(Time of no reply) The time of no reply
(Time of no reply) Is calling me to stay
(Time of no reply) There's no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way
